Abstract

The paper deals with the study of PV module encapsulation using liquid methylmetacrylate composition hardened by UV radiation. The solar cells encapsulation method by methylmetacrylate composition in the glass-glass and glass PET-foil constructions of PV modules is investigated. The UV hardening modes of methylmetacrylate composition are investigated and developed. The studied method allows to eliminate heating during encapsulation and reduce the PV module production cost. The new method makes it possible to encapsulate solar cells on any substrates, including easily melted polymeric ones, and also in the glass-glass construction.

The structure and technological modes of liquid methylmetacrylate composition hardening during encapsulation have been investigated and selected. PV modules investigation for the resistance to external actions according to IEC61215 standard procedure provided positive results
